Does God exist?

I guess that's a pretty fundamental question to answer with our friends, though interestingly enough according to 2005 census about 82% of the population believe in God. However, other people like Richard Dawkins argue that there is no such things as God.

But the Bible says that God reveals himself to us in a number of ways:
  1. Through the world around us. It is an incredible world and speaks to us of a loving God who made it.
  2. By our desire - we have an innate sense that there is something greater than us - God.
  3. Through the moral law - right and wrong are God given that's why we have a common sense of this though from different cultures and backgrounds.
  4. By our Conscience - conscience is not a product of evolution, it would be an evolutionary hiccup, so it is a sign that we were made in God's image.

But the Bible says we can choose to ignore those signs, in fact Romans 1:18 onwards says we do choose to deliberately ignore those signs.

But the most convincing proof that God exists is Jesus Christ, someone has said of Jesus that:

‘All the armies that have ever marched
All the navies that have ever sailed
All the parliaments that have ever sat
All the kings that ever reigned put together
Have not affected the life of mankind on earth
As powerfully as that one solitary life’

The decision to be made is what you will do with that life and that death?
